A US dog lover bought her pampered French Poodle its own bathroom complete with a specially commissioned￡500 painting.

　　The dog, named Pierre Deux, lives in an Indianapolis apartment with owners Ilia and James Macdonald. His toilet lid is wrapped in aqua chiffon with a purple feather boa border and the room is decorated with flower petals and a picture of Pierre's girlfriend, Gigi. He relieves himself on disposable nappies left on the floor.

　　"He's my baby, so he deserves the best," she told the Indianapolis Star. "My mother jokes that she wants to come back reincarnated as Pierre. There's no better life." The bathroom was the work of interior designer Lisa Fitzwater, she said: "It's kind of cool when you have a client who's creative and adventurous. I've done a hundred black and brown rooms. This was a lot more fun."

　　She commissioned artist Heather Cuthbert-Lutgring to create the painting which features a note, supposedly written by Pierre, saying he'd gone to Paris with his girlfriend but would be back by midnight.




　　美国一夫妇为爱犬添置最豪华的狗厕

　　美国印第安那波利斯市的麦克唐纳夫妇给他们的爱犬--法国种狮子狗皮埃尔添置了豪华的洗手间，光是室内涂墙就花了500英镑。洗手间用花瓣作装饰，里面还挂着一幅皮埃尔女友的照片。马桶盖由浅绿色的薄纱包着，边上镶着紫色的花纹。皮埃尔想方便的时候，就可以在铺在地上的纸巾上解决问题。

　　“他是我孩子，他值得拥有最好的东西。”女主人艾利亚说，“我妈妈开玩笑说，她宁愿投胎转世到皮埃尔身上，没有人比皮埃尔过着更舒适的生活了。”这个豪华洗手间是室内设计师丽莎-佛里斯维特的作品，她专门请了专业的画家负责室内涂墙，图案竟是一幅皮埃尔的“涂鸦”。(叶庆文)
